I see nothing unwiki-like in suggesting that a person should defend their additions to an article when disputes arise. That's a pretty standard expectation in any collaborative environment. There's no lack of assumption of good faith involved in an editor removing an addition if they have reason to believe it is not beneficial to the article.
But if they remove it from a generally anti-spam ideological point of view, or on the grounds of "conflict of interest", then there is such a problem of good faith being disregarded. Quiddity has now gone into this in greater detail, and WP:EL is _very clearly_ drafted from an anti-spam perspective.
